“If my kid had just killed 6 people including a little girl, and seriously wounded a dozen others, I don’t really think I’d be playing those kind of games — unless I had something to hide. “
There’s something seriously wrong with “unless I have something to hide.” First, I bet you do have something to hide if they look carefully, and second, that’s not the point. Regarding the investigations, it’s not like FBI suspects a bomb is going to go off and they are stopping them. The people are already dead, and everyone knows who did it. And they had 2 days to get a warrant (assuming that was the problem)
It's not what YOU have to hide, it's what could be hidden on the person doing the searching.
“And they had 2 days to get a warrant (assuming that was the problem)”
They could have stood on the sidewalk and called a Judge. They would have been given a verbal approval in seconds!
